Wizard for Standard Structures

User can specify/select steel sections for columns, primary & secondary beams, braces and types for base plate and floorings. Flexibility to select require profiles in a wizard enable visualization of the structures and generate BOM for proposal preparations and cost calculations

Handrails: Users can quickly create and place continuous or split handrails along the selected path

Staircases & Ladders: Steel Layout module help to quickly generate Staircases & Ladders with wizards, which will ensure the selection of required profiles and entering valid inputs. It assists users in selecting & entering required details. These structures are created as Steel Structure assemblies enabling copying of these to different locations

Wizards for Caged Ladder and Trusses: Users will be able to easily create and place caged ladder and trusses in the steel structures

3 types of Caged Ladder are supported: Caged ladder with front exit, left exit and right exit

SDNF interface for Further Detailing

Users can select steel structures ( graphically or from a list/tree) to export, a preview option to view the selected structures enable user to verify the accuracy of selection of intended structures before exporting..

User can extend SDNF export to other software with help of configuration file.

An option to set 'Material Name', 'Profile Name' conversion in a configuration file enables user to map the materials and profiles (of different standards & types) in Tekla and CADISON® Steel Layout

Report Generation

CADISON® Steel Layout comes with two report templates (excel & word) to provide BOM immediately upon installation. These reports give piecewise information of its type, size and weight or provide categorized report of the steel sections for the type, length, weight and quantity

Features

Configuration of standards in Steel Layout:

The Steel Layout module wizards such as Ladder, Caged Ladder, Staircase, Handrail, etc. are enhanced to support various standards (DIN, ISO, etc.). It helps the users to create the structures according to the selected standards quickly.

Standards can be configured by an administrator using configuration set functionality (as per the guiding values) and made available for use in a project. Steel Structure Wizards will validate the user entered values with the guiding values from a standard.

Improved End Cut Feature:

It is now possible to represent End-cuts at an intersection for better visualization and accurate BOM. Beam-mitre option is added in addition to the Beam-offset option available in previous version. This enables users to trim the steel profiles (beam/columns) and avoid an intrusion. The users can specify beam/column profile lengths in BOM accurately.

Easy Placement of Beams or Columns

Adding multiple steel profiles along with multiple beams and columns in a drawing becomes easy with a new command introduced in R15.5. Users can quickly add the beams and columns with required spacing at a click of a button.
